Installing @next/mdx

As our website has a lot of downloadable (pdf) legal documents, our team decided to use md for a content source. That meant we’d need some library to parse and display that content on our static pages, looking the same as the pdf file.

For some reason @next/md is not fully compatible with our project - TS was complaining inside the Next config. The moment I’ve searched for issues and found this one was the moment I decided I’d switch to something else.

I’m so tired of inconsitencies that I didn’t even try to dig deeped. It took me less than a minute to install react-markdown and call it a day.
